The Troll Race

The racial home of the Trolls originates deep in the swamps south of the Savannah, though the race has since spread far from the fabled city of Kasmarkin. Descended from the legendary giant Gruul and a human woman, physically they have a metabolism completely different from humans and are only slightly less intelligent. Their dependence on their physical gifts has, however, made them less magically adept than other races. Nevertheless, during the Wars of Succession, Troll mercenary legions were said to contain mages, thus disproving the theory held by many that Trolls are not intelligent enough to wield magic. In modern times, Trolls have often been the generals of armies for their aggressive nature serves them well in war.

Trolls are large, slender humanoids with great physical prowess, with most reaching a mature height of seven feet or more. They often have strong or heavy facial features, coupled with a hulking or burly stature that can contribute to an unfavourable stereotype. Their skin has a grey cast to it, sometimes greenish in tone, although very human-like shades have been seen. Consistent with their human ancestry, their hair and eye colour spans a broad range, though yellow eyes - unusual in humans - are common among Trolls.
